Your browser failed the test:

  • You might have Java built-in, but it is disabled.
     To enable it:
    • Internet Explorer --look at your Java settings in:
      Tools >> Internet Options >> Security >> Custom
    • Netscape -- check the Enable Java box found in:
      Edit >> Preferences >> Advanced
  • You might have to update your browser -- see below.
  • The testing applet may be wrong about your computer.

You can try to run the DVTools anyway.  Warning: Incompatible browsers may crash your computer.

Windows and Unix users:

Netscape 4.04 or above and Microsoft IE4 or above support these features.  

Netscape versions 4.04 and 4.05 also require a patch to upgrade to Java 1.1.

Internet Explorer version 5 no longer installs Java by default. If you are going to install IE5, do a custom install and make sure to include the Java virtual machine. If you already have IE5 and need to add Java support, select: Tools >> Windows Update, from your browser's menu and download the Virtual Machine.

Macintosh users:

First the bad news:

Neither Internet Explorer nor Netscape support the features of Java needed to run the Color Mapper with their built-in Java interpreters.

Now the good news:

In March '99, Apple released the Mac OS Runtime for Java (MRJ) 2.1. This offers full compatibility with version 1.1.6 of the Java development Kit (JDK) from Sun Microsystems -- allowing the Color Mapper to run.

Currently, only Internet Explorer allows you specify the use of the MRJ.
To do so:

  1. Download and install the MRJ.
  2. Open the current version of Internet Explorer
  3. From the Edit menu select:
    Preferences... >> Web Browser >> Java >> Java Virtual Machine >> Apple MRJ >> OK.

Netscape plans to add this capability with its next release (version 5).

Note: 

You can also run Java 1.1 applets from outside your browser with the applet launcher utility that is included with the MRJ -- so you have an option even if you are unwilling to install Internet Explorer.
